10 Mother’s Day breakfast recipes that she’ll never forget!

Women's weekly food pancakes

Best ever pancake recipe

Follow the simple steps to create fluffy pancakes every time. A sure fire breakfast winner that mum will love. Just as good served simple with classic maple syrup or lemon and sugar as they are with elaborate toppings.


Women's weekly food breakfast quesadilla

Breakfast quesadillas

This tasty Mexican inspired breakfast quesadilla encases oozy cheese, runny eggs and hearty beans to create a healthy, flavour-packed breakfast or lunch that will fuel mum for the day.


Women's weekly food French toast

French toast

French toast, sometimes known as eggy bread, is a simple yet indulgent breakfast that is so easy to make. Tender and sweet French toast makes for a quick and easy yet decadent Mother’s Day breakfast. 


Cinnamon banana fritters

This easy recipe from the Women’s Weekly cookbook Kids in the Kitchen is good for beginners – with supervision! It uses store bought pancake mix, which is made into a batter and used to coat banana halves before frying them up into fritters. Top with maple syrup.


Women's weekly food homemade baked beans

Homemade baked beans

You haven’t had real baked beans until you’ve had homemade baked beans studded with smoky slivers of ham from the hock. Add the treacle with a slow hand, tasting as you go, if mum prefers a less sweet end result.


Women's weekly food weetbix bliss balls

Brekkie bliss balls

Make these brekkie bliss balls with the kids on Saturday, and serve to mum with a coffee, tea or juice on Sunday! Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to pop in lunchboxes during the week.


Women's weekly food scrambled eggs

Scrambled eggs

Scrambled eggs may be the ultimate in simple, comfort food at breakfast, they’ll also keep you going until lunchtime. So better get cracking for silky, fluffy eggs on mum’s breaky plate.


Women's weekly food breakfast bruschetta

Bacon, egg and pumpkin feast bruschetta

Mum will be super impressed with this colourful plate! This breakfast bruschetta sets a high benchmark!


Women's weekly food waffles

Waffles with maple syrup

The best ever breakfast dish – classic waffles with maple syrup. The only way to make them even better would be to add a generous handful of berries, or home-made fruit compote.


Women's weekly food breakfast waffle

Breakfast jaffle

Bacon, eggs and chutney sandwiched between two pieces of toast is a great way to start the day. Perfect for mum to devour in bed!
